Whole30 - Round 2 - Week 1

2013 sucked for me in many ways. Injuries, stress, family health, car accident, job market fun for me and Chadd. So now that I've said that, we can move onto the more positive things going on in 2014!

First, I started a new job. In general, I try to avoid talking about my professional life on this blog, so take it from me when I say I'm expecting to work a lot of hours and have to get creative with working out. Hint: it rhymes with shmearly shmorning schmorkouts....

Along with the greater blogosphere, it seems, I've decided to do another round of Whole30. If you want any information at all about Whole30, I recommend a) the Whole30 website or b) the past few posts on my blog, where you'll find resources I recommend, my experience, and my favorite photos of myself post Whole30.

I'm on Day 3 right now, and the only side effect I have right now is an incredibly stuffy nose. I've mentioned that I wanted to achieve "inexpensive" meals to prove that paleo is affordable. That information will slowly be added into the blog as it requires the maths and we all know how much I love numbers.

Here's a recap so far of what I've been eating, how I've been feeling, and all that nonsense:

Day 1: Monday, January 6
Breakfast: Quiche (almond flour crust, eggs, veggies, bacon filling) and half a Texas grapefruit
Lunch: Moroccan meatballs, grapes
Dinner: Chicken gumbo (which we think tastes more like pot pie filling, less like gumbo), broccoli, peach/cherry crumble for Chadd's "birthday cake"

Feeling:
I have never noticed how terrible and poofy I've felt until this day. I vaguely recall feeling similarly self conscious on day 1 of the last round. I went to bed feeling like 30 days was a long time - not because I couldn't do it...but because it felt like 30 days was so long to wait to feel so good.

Day 2: Tuesday, January 7
Breakfast: Quiche, grapefruit
Lunch: root veggie bisque, grapes
Dinner: Big salad with Chinese-style "peanut" dressing

Feeling: 
Why can't I stop peeing? TMI. Why can't I sleep? My stomach feels horrible, but more like I was coming off a hangover (I wasn't).

Day 3: Wednesday, January 8
Breakfast: Quiche, grapefruit
Lunch: Root veggie bisque, cucumber "noodle" asian salad
Dinner: Shrimp with lizard sauce (red sauce), steamed veggies

Feeling: 
Aside from feeling like I'd gotten hit in the head when I woke up this morning, noticeable improvements in poof factor. Track practice felt amazing, minus the constrained breathing from the cold.

Right now, my goals are pretty simple for the first 30 days of my job (along with Whole30):
- Make track practice every week
- Crossfit or strength workout once a week
- Yoga once a week
- Long run every week
- One swim or cycle workout/week

It's not a lot, especially as compared to what used to be my training schedule, but I know that at least once a week, I'll have to put the hours in at the office or I'll just want to be home, decompressing. If I do more than that, I'll be satisfied, but I won't stress it.

So. Who else is doing Whole30 with me?

  2. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
